How to backup a local Git repository?

Question

I am using git on a relatively small project and I find that zipping the .git directory\'s contents might be a fine way to back up the project. But this is kind of weird bec

[Just leaving this here for my own reference.]

My bundle script called git-backup looks like this

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
if __FILE__ == $0
        bundle_name = ARGV[0] if (ARGV[0])
        bundle_name = `pwd`.split('/').last.chomp if bundle_name.nil? 
        bundle_name += ".git.bundle"
        puts "Backing up to bundle #{bundle_name}"
        `git bundle create /data/Dropbox/backup/git-repos/#{bundle_name} --all`
end

Sometimes I use git backup and sometimes I use git backup different-name which gives me most of the possibilities I need.
